Posting photos:
Alternatively: Upload your image to somewhere on the internet (a list can be found in the wiki here, and I also can recommend imgur). Once the image is uploaded, right click on the image (control-click or click with two fingers for those of you with macs), click on "copy image URL". Then in your post in this thread, paste the image URL that you previously copied between two image tags, so the result looks like:[img]your URL here[/img]

My two packages were shipped yesterday via UPS as I learned that USPS cannot ship wine. This is my first year of participating and hope both of my US based recipients like what they will get.
I also received a package from a Santa based in Singapore! That's one of my favorite places to visit and it will be tough to wait for Christmas to open it! I will post pics once the day arrives.

Arrived home from Munich (my last business trip of the year!) to a package from someone in Seattle.. Opened the box and inside were five beautifully wrapped presents all tied together with ribin and a card. I am saving to open until Christmas. I do not know who the Secret Santa is (it may be disclosed in the card when I open it). To whoever is responsible, thank you!!! I am attempting to post a picture below.

And now that I have re-learned how to post pictures, below is a picture of two more beautifully wrapped presents I received earlier (see post 246). They arrived with a card (not in photo) which stated on the outside not to open until after I open the gifts. I am holding these for Christmas.

I totally forgot to include this in my previous post, but I'm working and won't get home until the 23rd. I know the post has attempted the delivery of an US originated package and I wasn't home, so I guess that's at least one of my Santas 
They will keep any packages until I get back, so they won't be lost either.
So, it's not that I'm being mean and / or lazy, just a bit far away from home at the moment.

A big thank you to a (still secret) Secret Santa for the Laboratoire Remede Body Contour Lotion and Body Wash -- better known as St. Regis bath products! The lotion is my absolute favorite and I'm excited that I no longer need to ration what I took from the hotel

I had a second delivery from Santa waiting at the office today as I returned from a quick trip to London. It is also from a Santa in Hiroshima. If there are two Santas in Hiroshima, or if it is the same Santa (or forwarding on behalf of someone) I am not entirely sure as I have not opened my packages yet.
When I complete my Xmas shopping for my family today, I will know if there is space to bring my Secret Santa gifts with me, or I have to open them early.

Just packed up and sent off my last Secret Santa gift. I had to wait for my personal executive elf to retrieve a special item from a certain magical kingdom. Said magical kingdom does offer online shopping but does not ship this special item beyond the continental USA. I have dispatched said item to the west coast. These are all the clues allotted for a lucky recipient.
BTW, executive elf happened to be on personal business (i.e. vacation) which is a rare occurrence so close to the holidays but had numerous banked hours and points to travel, doing a huge favour for this Santa.

Having completed my shopping, I have a volume problem so I decided not to bring the gifts to Europe and back again. So here is the first picture of my gifts.
The two boxes from Hiroshima was from the same Santa. The first box contained two special bottles of sake, that I really look forward to try. The second box various goodies from Hiroshima, a cookbook to inspire my future cooking experiments and a Thai F Rimova kit.
A big thank you from Tokyo to Hiroshima, a really impressive and well chosen gift.

Hello everyone,
I have received a gift from one of my Secret Santas, who obviously took the time to read through my "wish list" that I sent in my e-mail to wharvey. It is from the Highland Mint, a Toronto Blue Jays stadium pictures with facsimile signatures of the players from the 2015 team - which was a memorable year for them.
Thanks Santa! Now just deciding which wall to hang it on.
